• Do you often engage in counterproductive actions even though you know they can put you at serious risk in personal or professional plans?
• Do you find it easy to talk yourself into eating a cake while on a diet, into skipping an exercise or procrastinating on a task that could make or break your career?
• Do you want to make sure that your thoughts and actions work for you and not against you and to finally become your ally in achieving your goals?

Self-sabotage can take many forms, including the ones described above, but also indulging in destructive emotions such as depression or resentment, failing to do what you know is necessary, saying or doing something that you know could harm your goals...

The reason for this behavior lies in low self-esteem, which is probably buried deep in your subconscious: because you don't believe you can actually achieve your goals or because you don't feel worthy enough, you subconsciously feel the need to prove yourself right, so you sabotage your own efforts so that you don't have to step out of your comfort zone, even though that zone isn't the best place to be.

If this behavior continues, it gets even worse – and worse yet, you can pass it on: it's quite likely that you have developed these thought patterns while you were very young and if you set the same example to your children, it's very possible that they'll perpetuate the cycle.

Fortunately, it's possible to change these destructive patterns. Building your self-image and stopping self-sabotaging behaviors isn't the easiest task in the world, but if you're determined to put an end to this, then this album can prove to be of great help.

Affirmations have the power to silence your destructive self-talk: by repeating positive, constructive statements about yourself, you will be able to gradually form a new, better self-image and you'll be motivated to work on actually achieving your goals, instead of deflecting and sabotaging them.
